The Forgotten 98

This Page Is A Tribute To The 98 U.S. Civilian Contractors From
Morrison-Knudsen Company Who Lost Their Lives On 7 October 1943 On Wake Island

The photos shown here were scanned from this book entitled:
"A Report To Returned CPNAB Prisoner of War HEROES and Their Dependents"
, published by the Pacific Island Employees Foundation in 1945. Photos were obtained by Morrison-Knudsen Company from Family Members. Not all 98 photos are shown in the book.  All are honored here, however.
Bonnie Gilbert's book "Building For War" tells the story of WWII civilian contractors who risked their lives for good-paying jobs on Wake Island. Bonnie's father and grandfather were among those civilians. Her research helps bring closure to the families, whose lives were changed forever by the events on Wake. Click on her book cover & JPAC Family letter for more information.
